Just wondering... I love the beautiful white leather handbags that have been out there the last couple years.... I started loving them with that great white Hogan bag that Jennifer Aniston carried in Rumor Has It. Ever since then, I have loved white leather bags. I especially love the YSL white Muse and the white Rive Gauche.

Soooo, do you all carry these white bags in the winter? I can see carrying them for sure in areas where there really isn't much of a winter such as Florida, California, Arizona, etc. But what about in areas where there is a real winter ? Is white still forbidden after Labor Day?

Why not? If it matches, go ahead. This has been discussed before. You'll find more answers in a search.

Definately! Winter white is so hot, so a white bag is just fine IMO.

I've been wearing my white spy this fall and I plan on using it all through winter. I think a white bag on an all black background looks amazing.

i've also been wearing my white bag with outfits that compliment it, go for it.

Yes, I think white is fine for winter if it is a subdued white and "goes with" your outfit. I wouldn't use it for everyday, but as a special accessory piece, yes, white is TDF!

Why not?! I've been carrying my off-white Dior gaucho and it goes with everything. Also, if you own a lot of darker color clothing, the white will look great with it.

White is always right!!!! being forbidden after Labor Day is old school!

^^^ not in NY. You don't wear a white bag or white shoes after labor day. You just don't.

MayDay · Oct 27th, 2006, 08:05 PM

I think a white bag is perfectly fine for the winter...if you pair your bag with silver and grey clothes you may look like a snow queen, which is a fantastic winter look!

purselova34 · Oct 27th, 2006, 08:49 PM

I think white looks great any time of year. I mean, I really think anyone cares anyway.

minami · Oct 27th, 2006, 08:52 PM

After Easter I think. Not 100% sure.

Only if you are very careful to unfailingly refer to it as "Winter White."

I think off-white or winter white definitely, but not a pure or snow white.
